by Reverie
Born in a small coastal town, Emmett apprenticed under an old Swiss horologist who recognized his steady hands early on. He moved to the city to open a modest workshop restoring rare timepieces, driven by a desire to preserve the artistry of mechanisms that outlast generations. What weighs on him is the fear that modern haste will make such careful craftsmanship obsolete.
“I've spent my whole life learning to read the smallest movements—a hairline crack in a mainspring, the shift of a pallet fork—but I couldn't read the way you looked at them tonight. And it's not my place to ask, except I can't keep pretending that watching you with someone else doesn't make every gear in me seize. Tell me I'm wrong, and I'll go back to my workbench and never speak of it again. But if I'm right... I need you to say it now.”
